There is one reason and one reason only A&T would be accepted by a conference in the FBS. They average over 15k in home attendance and have a large fan following which should translate well to TV. With all due respect, winning Celebration Bowls and beating low level G5 teams really doesn't impress.

essentially the Aggies have their own "bowl division" not partaking in the FCS playoffs but they would forfeit this losing their MEAC affiliation. funding 85 as opposed 63 scholarships plus title 9 obligations makes this a harder sell. Moving to the SoCon would be a better fit w/ Hampton now in the Big South. time will tell. The A&T Band is awesome.
